A meeting is scheduled for this evening for a plan to renovate U.S. 290 east of Austin, from U.S. 183 to the SH130 toll road.

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, the group in charge of the 183-A toll road in Cedar Park, intends to take over the project as a toll road. Tonight's meeting is to discuss toll rates, property acquisition and a vision of the road.

The renovated U.S. 290 would have tolled main lanes with free frontage roads, with many stop lights.

The meeting is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at the Educational Service Center on Springdale Road, just south of the intersection of Springdale & Manor Rds., and just south of where Manor Road meets U.S. 183.
